woodway, TX Monday, July 16, 2018 we are sorry for your loss. Eugenia was Vice-President of RVOS Lodge 32 for many years. Every time we held an election she would say " Sure, I'll run again--the Vice-President never has to do anything!" The last time we voted her in she wasn't even there-we figured something had come up or she had forgotten about the meeting. Then I tracked her to the retirement center out by the lake and she said we should find someone else to run. She was a fine lady with a quiet sense of humor who will be missed by many.Jimmy & Cyndi Sykora
